If you were a fugitive on the run, would you hide out 45 minutes from home… or maybe try Mexico?In this wild and wonderfully Texan episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives into a chaotic blend of true crime, storm survival, and nostalgic lake stories that’ll have you laughing, gasping, and maybe even questioning your childhood science lessons.With Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray behind the mics, the segment kicks off with KT’s Weekday Update, spotlighting the bizarre saga of Trevor McEwen—a murder suspect who snapped off his ankle monitor and vanished… only to be found hiding out in Van Zandt County, just a short drive from where he fled. “Brother, if you’re gonna take the time to snap off your ankle monitor, get out of the state!”🌩️ Then, the crew unpacks a lightning-strike incident at Mustang Park that injured 14 people trying to hold down a runaway canopy. This sparks a hilarious debate: Can lightning really electrocute you through lake water? And if so, wouldn’t it kill every fish in the lake?🎣 KT shares a childhood memory from Lake Texoma involving a storm, a fishing trip gone rogue, and a legendary family figure named Papa Buddy—a name so iconic it deserves its own country album.Whether you’re here for the true crime, the storm science, or just the absurdity of Texas life, this episode delivers a perfect storm of storytelling, humor, and heart.
